In case you missed Newsday’s article from about 2 weeks ago, Suffolk County announced that all 100 of their red light cameras are up and operational. According to the article, Suffolk has issued 98,000 citations since the cameras started going up in June 2010.
Meanwhile, the New York State Senate transportation committee was scheduled to vote last week on allowing 50 more cameras in Suffolk County (and presumably the new batch of 50 for Nassau County that they planned to add this year). I haven’t heard what the outcome of that vote was though.
Lastly, Mark Smith, a spokesman for Steve Levy, said that depending on the effectiveness of the cameras, Suffolk may add more next year. I thought the “may add more” part was pretty funny. I predict more cameras regardless of the effect on safety, since it’s all about generating revenue.
red light cameras should be paintball targets.
